88621, need more power
Posted by FunRS, Apr-23-05 02:44 AM
OK here is the deal I need more power. But don't know which would be the better route. I'm not looking for earth shacking power. Just whant a little more than what I have now. So here are my options turbo Or cams. Now let my tell you what I'm looking for in HP. Around 160 HP would be good. Not looking for extreme HP. Just a little more than what I have now. As for mods I have a coldair intake, Cat back, Header, MSD coil and wires, NX 50 shoot. I like the car when I'm spraying but it's costing to much to refill the bottle. So now I've come the point of to cam or to turbo. Any help or comits would be helpful. Now let me put on the nomex suite and let the flames begin.

definately get a turbo if you have enough money, even a stage 1 would put you where you want to be, i don't think a cam would satisfy your need for speed. and besides, a turbo set-up is a lot easier to make a lot of power out of down the road than an NA set-up

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'll be going turbo. Now I just need to save up some cash.

you do realize your comparing yugos to Ferrarris, don't you? thats like saying "i want a good commuter car: my options are a yugo or a Viper"

if you want a "bit more power" then go cams. for a few hundred dollars you can get on average 15-20 extra ponies...

or you can go turbo for a couple thousand dollars and get 75-175+ extra ponies....

so you see, the two don't really go together in the relm of comparisons...AND cams will only help if you ever do go turbo.
